:) you said just what i was thinking (and wanting to say but was too sleep-deprived to even put down coherently.) thanks mb.

here are my mish-mash recipes

strawberry salsa:- cut up a bunch of strawberries- add in some frozen corn (that's been microwaved and then drained to remove the water)- add a handful of chopped up cilantro leaves (washed thoroughly)- squeeze in some lime juice- grate in a little bit of onion - add salt and pepper- add in a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar- mix, taste, and adjust flavors to your liking- let it sit in fridge for the flavors to merry before serving

and corn, tomato, and avocado salad:- microwave and then drain frozen corn, place in a bowl- add in a pint of cherry tomatoes (cut in half)- add a handful of chopped up cilantro leaves (washed thoroughly)- add in a chopped up avocado- add in a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar- grate in a little bit of onion- squeeze in some lime juice- add salt and pepper- mix, taste, and adjust flavors to your liking- let it sit in fridge for the flavors to merry before serving
